This is a more relaxed post, partially inspired by oncoming winter. Numerous developers in Linux are in need of a simple tea timer. Many default Linux setups are missing such application. What you can do is add new function to .bashrc file (or whichever shell you use):
function teatime() {
sleep $1;
espeak 'Your tea is done' & xmessage -center 'Your tea is done';
}
Usage:
teatime 7m # for herbal tea
teatime 3m # for green or black tea
